<p>I am going to save this link. Have wanted to visit WA and OR for about 10 years now. Want to see Mt. Rainier, the COlumbia River Gorge, etc. Am determined to get there eventually – hopefully his year!</p>
<p>Also doesn’t hurt that S1 said it’s in the 70’s there. Here it was a miserable 100 degrees! I hate summer!</p>
<p>You could spend a week at any of the national parks in WA…they are all amazing! And the coast at Forks and Kalaloch and the Puget sound with the killer whales…amazing too. Just too much to see!</p>
<p>If he has some extra time after visiting Pike’s place, I love the ferry to/from Bainbridge Island. A relatively cheap harbor cruise. (if he had more time, Bainbridge is a cute town to explore and grab a bite to eat)</p>
<p>he probably would have the most fun @ the block party- it would be easy to get to capitol hill from downtown + ( I forgot about the train, it wasnt going out to the airport yet when we too the bus.)</p>
<p>.I was thinking of going Sunday, but not really familiar with any of the bands playing Sat- except Feral Children.
Sunday I would probably see the Dead Weather, the Maldives & the Blue Scholars</p>
<p>He can take the Grey Line service to downtown which is inexpensive and runs multiple times a day. I’ve not been to Seattle since the train so don’t know if the buses still run. Love Seattle and I would go to Pikes Place or the Space Needle. Consider the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.</p>
<p>On our recent trip to Seattle, we landed on a clear beautiful day. We ate at a Red Robin in a mall in Tukwila, very near the airport. We sat outside with an amazing view of Mt. Rainier. I could have stayed there all day, just looking at that mountain. Breathtaking!</p>
<p>I want to say thank you to all who visited or who plans to visit our beautiful state! :)</p>
<p>sooo… i want to hear if he liked Seattle. my oldest is moving there next month. and i understand why, its so beautiful</p>
<p>Oh, parent, your son is so, so lucky. Although I was fortunate to visit there during good weather, I don’t think I would ever tire of the mountains and the lakes. </p>
<p>Another quick visit idea might be the Museum of Flight. We really enjoyed it. It is not too far from the airport, either.</p>
<p>The Boeing tour in Everett was a big treat for all of us, especially my son.</p>
<p>Snoqualmie Falls, then the ride to eat at Twede’s, just gorgeous. </p>
<p>If one only has a day in Seattle, I would try to fit either of those three in, if you’re not into touristy type things.</p>
<p>we drove past that boeing plant…it is enormous!!! that would be interesting. I think next time i go, i want to spend time downtown and uhhh hit the Nordstrom Rack.</p>
